Playing Rogue Day 2

Posted by cncfreak, 29 June 2012 · 246 views

I burned through quite a few characters this time.  First up was save2600:
Things were going fairly well until i hit level 4.  I entered a room with a slime and started attacking it.
But i kept missing and it kept splitting.  Needless to say i was overwhelmed with slimes and succumbed
to them.

Next up was ianoid:
I made it all the way to level 8 but through out my adventure ran into quite a few rattlesnakes.  Just so
you know rattlesnakes poison you which lowers your strength by one.  I had fought so many my
strength had lowered to 2 out of 16.  I barely could kill anything and i had no magical items to remove
the effect so a lowly slime put an end to my adventure.

Next up was AtariBrian:
Things were going well for me until level 8.  I stumbled into a teleportation trap which teleported me
to another portion of the map and confused me for a bit. There also was a mad centaur in the room
that decided it didn't like me so he finished me off in quick fashion.

Next up was nitrosport:
I was doing well until level 7 where for some reason i couldn't hit anything including the zombie
that ate my brains.

And last up was FibroFreak78:
I've saved the best for last.  I got pretty far with this character even though they had a timely death
as well.  Things didn't start off so well though.  I found a set of banded mail amor.  I knew it was much
better than what i was wearing but didn't have a scroll of identify on me.  I took a chance and put it on
and what do you know it was cursed (-4 banded mail).  The problem with cursed items like many
games, once you put it on it can't be removed without some type of magical item. While wandering
around i ended up in this room.

Through sheer luck i survived this encounter and here is where my luck turned to the good.  From all
the treasure i picked up i was able to remove the curse on the armor and replace it with something
better and also collected multiple enchant weapon scrolls.  When it was all said and done i had a
+5/+3 mace.  I now was able to kill things in one shot that used to take 3-4 shots.  Unfortunately my
luck ran out on level 13 when i fell into a pit and ended up at the feet of a nasty troll who killed me.
  This is as far as i've made it so far.  I finally got out of level 7-8 but now i must start anew.

And now the high score table:

I'm not sure i will be posting any more updates until next week.  Me and the wife are going out of town for the weekend down to Miami for a Sci-fi convention.  But you never know.




Have fun at the Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con.

Nice blog. I love Rogue.

Have you tried Donnie Russell's port? http://www.freewebs.com/drussell/

It's very good. It just adds a few subtle extras to the game. If you like Rogue, try MAG too,

Are you doing this for the Rogue Tournament? http://roguetemple.c...hp?topic=2499.0

Very cool!  I like your documentation of the games and kills. :)

Funny what a game idea will do.  That thread seems to have spurred a few people's interest in Rogue, including me.  I played it many years ago, and again started playing this last week after reading the thread.  Made it all the way up to level 17.  But I'll admit I was save-cheating. :P

I started playing NetHack in the last 3 days.  It's a lot of fun, and REALLY FRUSTRATING!  This time I'm not save-cheating.  I've managed about level 5 so far.

By the way, on FibroFreak78's game, the room with all the monsters and items is called a vault.  They're pretty rare.  I've never personally found one.
